OK, are you saying you don't believe in a virgin birth? a man rising from the dead? to name just two religious beliefs ...
The reason I ask is by your statement a religious person that does believe in such things as above do not have "true religious beliefs" ...
It is not a scientific fact that there cannot be supernatural causes to natural events. Not even close. Science cannot even comment on it.
